Overshadowed for two years by the pandemic, this year’s holiday celebrations will be more vibrant and festive than ever. In the world of fashion, that means the return of quirky and uplifting party wear, covered in sequins, rhinestones and feathers. Let the celebration begin!

Five, four, three, two, one… Happy New Year! Forget the couch-and-television New Year’s Eve vibe we’ve embraced for the past two years, as the party spirit returns to the holidays.

With this festive mood comes colorful makeup and nails, and a splash of glitter and shine.

Her official sequins and rhinestones will take effect this season, bringing with it a return to all things disco-inspired.

Plus, fur and velvet will be one of the highlights of the season, as if to help everyone forget that coats, puffer vests, and capes were last year’s holiday must-haves.
